Decoding America

In this stone wall

I am but a brick

I have breath

A heart beat

I am not a statistic

Can’t live off

Your cheat sheet

Bonded labor

Hard to deliver

Time for 

An epidural

Ale for ail

Passing fail

In lost trail

Losing point

In fine detail

Engaging my thought

With a splash of lime

Losing vitals

In slipping time

I am just

A question bank

I am not

Your answer key

It’s not for me

To figure why

What is there between 

A low and high

Life is not

A happy meal

Hustle for

Your French fry

Don’t you look

At my Gun so hard

What’s finally

Going to kill you

Is the interest 

On your credit card

You can get your Benz

Get your Lamborghini

I just want

The bottle with a genie

Three wishes to 

Settle the score

Every third wish

I ask for three more

Too many codes

Too many laws

Let me live 

In the comfort of 

My flaws

Add to the crinkle

Analyze the complexity

Decoding America 

Without simplicity
